Schrodinger’s Cat Perfume Oil

$4.50 – $19.50

One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a “blurred model” for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.

Gloame –March 12, 2017

At first, this reminded me of something from my childhood that I still can’t place. Maybe some girly toy set from the early 90s. On drydown, this is weirdly quirky and pretty. I love the lime and the lavender together – not soapy at all. I don’t smell any oakmoss, but I’m sure it’s doing its part keeping this from smelling like Fruit Loops. Overall, this is a lovely, happy summer scent. I’m keeping the imp and may get a bottle.

StopLoriNow –September 28, 2015

I’ll surely have to wear this several times to really understand it!

My immediate impression of this delightful scent was, “Fresh out of the shower”. It has this bright, clean, citrus feel with some depth. When the citrus has faded down a bit, I start to pick up the peppermint and lavender. Though I never distinctly detected the oakmoss and chocolate, I know they are responsible for the the depth and dimension. I imagine those notes are what made me think of “shower”, instead of just all citrus. The dry down is light, soft, but also warm.
